    Can we put this to bed?

    I concur. Most of us who have been around a long time have lived through far worse than what we are currently seeing. However, apathy is the enemy here. If the fans cease caring about the teams because the product being offered is so poor the programs suffer immense damage. ISU is a hard place...

    This is why Prohm must go........

    If attendance at Hilton drops far enough, I hope that Pollard would be wise enough to know that in order to save the program, he can't afford to not address issues when they are painfully obvious. Nobody wants to fire Prohm, he seems like a decent guy and a good ambassador for the university...

    This is why Prohm must go........

    The next coach is not going to inherit a winning tradition and a roster built for success. Pollard has to admit that he is ok with ISU being a bottom feeder or he is going to have to go out and pay a lot more for a coach capable of resurrecting the program (again).

    Where does this team find shooting NEXT year even?

    If you are what your record says you are then the current ISU team is one of the worst teams in the P6 conferences. You can't lose to FAU at home and claim to have any home court advantage. Even when they play well this team has shown a remarkable ability to "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory".

    Where does this team find shooting NEXT year even?

    You are correct, but they play bad defense to make up for not being able to score.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    Painfully obvious that this years team doesn't have "it". Last year's team collapsed at the end of the season but pulled it together for the conference tourney. I'm wondering if this team will just collapse and start phoning it in. They haven't shown much ability to pull together yet. I would...

    MONDAY MUSINGS: Hoops thoughts, football coaching changes, don't be a jackass

    I wish I could disagree, but when you look at the schedule it's hard to see more than 5-6 wins in the conference season. That is not going to get close to the tourney. Hope I'm wrong.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    In those days there were actually bigger crowds in Hilton for wrestling and gymnastic meets. Nobody wants Hilton to become an empty tomb for basketball again.

    Haliburton's Return Boosts ISU's Hopes as Big 12 season opener looms

    Based on what I have seen, I will no longer feel a need to watch the games live. If they actually start showing up and winning some games against real competition I can watch the replay's at my leisure. I think I've had enough humiliation for this year already. I'll steal from the football...

    "IT SUCKED": ISU suffers historic setback to Florida A&M at Hilton Coliseum

    Instant reaction podcast...

    Prohm has been here long enough that we know what we are getting with him. There isn't going to be some uptick at this point. With players he recruits we will be lucky to make the tourney and lose in the first round. I wish it weren't true but that is what his history tells us. It worked great...

    SOTU CF

    I'll repeat, per Johnny Orr, if you play hard, entertaining basketball fans will tolerate not winning as much as they would like. If the product on the floor is poor and or boring, fans will not be tolerant. I am observing the quality of the product on the floor going down dramatically and...

    *** Official Florida A&M Vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Maybe next year Prohm can find some high school teams to play. Of course, there's no guarantee we would beat them either.

    It will cost far more money to restore the fan's good will.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    I hope they weren't planning on selling a lot of ESPN+ subscriptions. The product on the floor so far this year should have pretty much killed any momentum there.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    I guarantee that Pollard does not want to go back to the way things were when I was a kid in the 70's. We never worried about having tickets to games. We just drove to Ames, bought tickets at the booth and sat pretty much anywhere you wanted to. Losing a fan base that has been as loyal and...

    *** Official Florida A&M Vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    More humiliating that losing to Hampton in the 1st round of the tourney as a 2 seed? I think its possible.

    *** Official Florida A&M Vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I know ISU fans are loathe to boo the home team, but Hilton is being disrespected by this team and Jamie Pollard needs to know that losing to teams like Florida A&M at home is completely unacceptable.

    This is why Prohm must go........

    I'm beginning to think the more apt comparison for Prohm is Lynn Nance or Ken Trickey. We may need to find another Johnny Orr to resurrect ISU basketball again.

    *** Official Florida A&M Vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I forgot the game was on. Turned out to be a blessing. So, when you lose to one of the worst teams in the NCAA it kind of tells you who you are. I hope people can stop talking about making the Tourney. This team will be lucky to win 4 games in conference. Sounds like it resembled Paul Rhodes...
